NAME
     XcmsQueryColor, XcmsQueryColors, XcmsLookupColor - obtain
     color values

SYNTAX
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lX11 [ library... ]

     Status XcmsQueryColor(Display *display, Colormap colormap,
          XcmsColor *color_in_out, XcmsColorFormat
          result_format);

     Status XcmsQueryColors(Display *display, Colormap colormap,
          XcmsColor colors_in_out[], unsigned int ncolors,
          XcmsColorFormat result_format);

     Status XcmsLookupColor(Display *display, Colormap colormap,
          char *color_string, XcmsColor *color_exact_return,
          XcmsColor *color_screen_return, XcmsColorFormat
          result_format);

ARGUMENTS
     display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

     colormap  Specifies the colormap.

     color_exact_return
               Returns the color specification parsed from the
               color string or parsed from the corresponding
               string found in a color-name database.

     color_in_out
               Specifies the pixel member that indicates the
               color cell to query.  The color specification
               stored for the color cell is returned in this
               XcmsColor structure.

     color_screen_return
               Returns the color that can be reproduced on the
               screen.

     color_string
               Specifies the color string.

     result_format
               Specifies the color format for the returned color
               specifications (color_screen_return and
               color_exact_return arguments).  If the format is
               XcmsUndefinedFormat and the color string contains
               a numerical color specification, the specification
               is returned in the format used in that numerical
               color specification.  If the format is XcmsUnde-
               finedFormat and the color string contains a color

               name, the specification is returned in the format
               used to store the color in the database.

     ncolors   Specifies the number of XcmsColor structures in
               the color-specification array.

DESCRIPTION
     The XcmsQueryColor function obtains the RGB value for the
     pixel value in the pixel member of the specified XcmsColor
     structure and then converts the value to the target format
     as specified by the result_format argument.  If the pixel is
     not a valid index in the specified colormap, a BadValue
     error results.  The XcmsQueryColors function obtains the RGB
     values for pixel values in the pixel members of XcmsColor
     structures and then converts the values to the target format
     as specified by the result_format argument.  If a pixel is
     not a valid index into the specified colormap, a BadValue
     error results.  If more than one pixel is in error, the one
     that gets reported is arbitrary.

     XcmsQueryColor and XcmsQueryColors can generate BadColor and
     BadValue errors.

     The XcmsLookupColor function looks up the string name of a
     color with respect to the screen associated with the speci-
     fied colormap.  It returns both the exact color values and
     the closest values provided by the screen with respect to
     the visual type of the specified colormap.  The values are
     returned in the format specified by result_format.  If the
     color name is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding,
     the result is implementation-dependent.  Use of uppercase or
     lowercase does not matter.  XcmsLookupColor returns XcmsSuc-
     cess or XcmsSuccessWithCompression if the name is resolved;
     otherwise, it returns XcmsFailure.  If XcmsSuccessWith-
     Compression is returned, the color specification returned in
     color_screen_return is the result of gamut compression.

DIAGNOSTICS
     BadColor  A value for a Colormap argument does not name a
               defined Colormap.

     BadValue  Some numeric value falls outside the range of
               values accepted by the request.  Unless a specific
               range is specified for an argument, the full range
               defined by the argument's type is accepted.  Any
               argument defined as a set of alternatives can gen-
               erate this error.
